Sanchez Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hello. Several questions for people who owned both headsets: - Do vive wands 2.0 consume more battery charge compared to 1.0? - Any jittering, sudden loss of tracking on newer wands and Pro headset? - Are base stations 2.0 more likely to fail than 1.0s? - In general, which hardware version had more problems in your experience?

HackPerception Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 @Sanchez - The 2.0 sensors are more sensitive to reflections than first gen sensors. Perhaps also a little more occlusion sensitive. The first gen sensors are like 6 years old now - the algrothyms are more mature. It's the 2.0 sensors themselves. All SteamVR headsets that have the newer sensors have similar behavior - it's not just VP series. The best way to keep the stations from failing is to not touch them when they're moving and to use basestation power management or a cellphone app like "BS Companion" to shut them off when not in use. It's more of a sensor thing than a basestation thing, but there are pros and cons to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
